Keller ISD Education Foundation

WHO WE ARE

Each year, with the support of our generous community, the impact of the Keller ISD Education Foundation continues to grow. We strive to be top-of-mind for educators as a trusted partner in meeting their classroom needs. Every time we support an educator, that investment multiplies, touching the lives of every student in their care.

Children represent the future—the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers who will shape the world to come. At the heart of their growth stand educators, the true architects of tomorrow. With each lesson taught, each challenge overcome, and each spark of curiosity ignited, teachers unlock the limitless potential within every child. ⭐ By supporting educators today, we are not just giving resources—we are fueling dreams, building confidence, and changing the trajectory of young lives. We are equipping and inspiring the students of tomorrow, laying the foundation for a brighter and more prosperous future for all. Simply put, investing in our children requires investing in the educators who guide and shape their journey.

GRANT OPPORTUNITIES

In the 2024–2025 academic year, the Foundation proudly funded over $125,000 in Educator Grants and Professional Development Scholarships for Keller ISD educators. These opportunities are vital because they provide teachers with the resources and flexibility needed to enhance learning experiences and meet the diverse needs of their students.

Budget limitations often restrict access to technology, creative tools, or specialized programs. Educator Grants bridge that gap by empowering teachers to implement innovative methods, fund classroom projects, and foster hands-on, engaging learning environments. In addition, Professional Development Scholarships ensure that teachers remain equipped with the latest strategies and best practices, directly supporting both their professional growth and student achievement. ⭐ When teachers have the tools they need, they inspire students to dream bigger, think deeper, and believe in themselves. Together, these investments fuel creativity, innovation, and excellence across the district.

ADVANCING EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES

Beyond classroom grants, the Foundation is committed to advancing educational opportunities districtwide. Last year, we provided over $50,000 in district initiative support. Some of these included Teacher Convocation, HOPE Squad, the AP Scholarship Program to offset exam costs for families, the Film Festival, KISD Job Olympics, and the Teachers of Tomorrow program.

With ongoing community support, we will continue to open doors to new, innovative experiences for students and strengthen the resources available to our educators. ⭐ These experiences not only enrich education but also give students moments they will remember for a lifetime.

THE O.N.E. FUND

The O.N.E. Fund is a newly established program designed to provide continuous, districtwide support for both educators and students throughout the year. By creating a flexible pool of funding for ongoing needs and essentials, the O.N.E. Fund allows the Foundation to respond quickly and effectively as needs arise.

This year, the O.N.E. Fund made a widespread impact, providing over $50,000 to 36 campuses for 150 different projects. ⭐ From simple classroom essentials to transformative opportunities, these projects represent hope made tangible. This initiative also empowers donors to direct their giving toward the areas they feel most passionate about, ensuring that every contribution has meaningful and immediate impact.

We invite the Keller ISD community to unite as One Network for Education (O.N.E.) to support the success of every student and teacher at this critical time in public education.

OUR NEEDS

In the year ahead, the Foundation will award up to $125,000 in Educator Grants and Professional Development Scholarships, provide more than $50,000 in district initiative funding, and distribute ongoing support through the O.N.E. Fund to meet the essentials of Keller ISD classrooms.

The demand has never been greater. Requests for support are increasing, and it takes a united community to prioritize the future of education. ⭐ Every donation—whether large or small—is not just a gift; it is a lifeline that helps teachers spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence in their students. Your generosity empowers teachers to create exceptional learning opportunities, inspires students to achieve their fullest potential, and ensures that Keller ISD remains a place where innovation and excellence thrive.

Together, we can build a stronger, brighter future for all. ⭐ With your support, every child has the chance to shine, every teacher has the resources to inspire, and every dream has the possibility to take flight.
